I do remember Blairs intentions to reform the house of Lords, that was in 1997!
He reduced the number of hereditary peers and that was it.
We have and will have a chamber full of political appointed Lords instead of hereditary Lords !
Still no democracy is there Gunsup.
Why is it so difficult to have two elected chambers others manage it, but that would do away with the ability to have a safe home for retired or failed MPs. MPs bribed with a seat in the Lords for handing over their safe constituencies to a toady of the pm.
And on democracy that toad Antony Wedgewood -Benn, wanted his eldest son to take a seat in the Lords, Viscount Benn.
After so many Labour governments through the years and decades we still bow to Sir this and Lord that.
Sir Toilet Stain Starmer, does prefer to be called Sir and his wife Lady Starmer. Blair like wise is a Sir !
Top Labourites do like to be above those that elect them, speaks volumes about their egos.
